dies during hell week. tonight, questions about the culture of brutality and drug use. cbs' david martin spoke to kyle mullen's mother. >> it's like a sick hazing. >> o'donnell: and the medical breakthrough. cbs' jon lapook with new technol that could change lives. ed >> this is the "cbs evening news" with norah o'donnell, reporting from the nation's capital. >> o'donnell: good evening, and thank you for joining us on this wednesday night. we want to begin tonight with that extraordinary, just-before-midnight filing from the justice department, where the government laid out its investigation in far more detail than ever before. the document is 36 pages long with 18 additional pages of attachments and includes this photo at the end of the filing, the final page showing several classified secret and top secret documents. one noteworthy point-- none of

the folders bear a label our a stamp kathy indicating they have been declassified. justice department says even some of the f.b.i. personnel and d.o.j. prosecutors on the case needed to get extra clearances to review some of that material. now, in this filing, the government lays out an important timeline, saying it tried to get these documents without a search warrant multiple times. they allege donald trump has pushed a "incomplete and inaccurate narrative" in the recent court filings, and that's why we are getting this new information. cbs' robert costa joins us. good evening, robert. there are a lot of new details tonight. >> reporter: good evening, norah, there are certainly many new details. it gives us a new look into the scope of this high-profile investigation. the explosive legal document revealed for the first time ever photo evidence of some of the alleged highly classified documents seized from former president trump's florida home. the redacted f.b.i. photographs

show classified cover sheets, some with h.c.s. marking. that refers to the intelligence derived from convert human sources. some of the documents were found in trump's so-called 45 office at mar-a-lago, a location considered vulnerable by intelligence officials. >> last thing you want to do is disclose those capabilities and the insights from them to our adversaries. >> reporter: the justice department has also laid out a case of possible obstruction of the probe by trump and his lawyers, asserting they had evidence that government records were likely concealed and removed from the storage roomtre government's investigation. back on june 3, two months before the search of mar-a-lago, trump's legal team told justice department officials that all sensitive documents had been returned. >> obstruction here,, of course, means to the did you want that they were told false facts. they were told that all the documents had been turned over when in fact their evidence they

developed showed they hadn't been turned over. and when they executed the search warrant, it turned out they had not been turned over. >> reporter: responding today, trump slammed the f.b.i.'s handling of the search and claimed he declassified documents at his home. but in its filing the government stated trump's lawyers never asserted trump had declassified the documents or asserted any claim of executive privilege. marc shorting a longtime republican and adviser to mike pence in the white house said trump made a mistake. >> president trump likely should not have been in possession of those documents. i don't think that's too far of a stretch for a rational person to say. >> reporter: some legal experts say while the probe is ongoing, criminal charges could follow. >> an indictment on obstruction of justice is absolutely possibly. most cases, an indictment for obstruction of justice will accompany a substantive criminal indictment, but a standalone obstruction of justice charge does happen. >> reporter: in the last few hours, sources close to trump

told cbs news that they now see this as both a legal and political war and expect trump to be unbound in his efforts to galvanize his supporters and cast the justice department as political, all as federal agents continue to face increased threats. norah. >> o'donnell: as the midterm approaches. robert costa, thanks very much. tonight, donald trump is actually talking about that picture with top secret material on the floor of mar-a-lago. he's accusing the f.b.i. of being "very deceiving." cbs' justice correspondent jeff pegues is here. jeff, taking evidence and a photo like that, that's standard procedure for the f.b.i., is it not? >> reporter: it is, but, you know, the department of justice they knew that this photo would have an impact. i mean, take a look at it. you have this evidence, some of it-- most of it marked top secret, sprawled out on the office floor of the former president at mar-a-lago. look at this ruler here, demonstrating the size of this document. and then the marker here, an evidence marker, the kind of

evidence marker you might see at a crime scene on a street somewhere. and cbs news has learned that there are a lot of pictures similar to this one in the investigative file. one question is were these documents mixed in with mr. trump's personal property in an effort to conceal them? sources tell me that the department of justice believes the former president and his representative have been less than truthful. a law enforcement source says they have been lying to us. when asked if the filing yesterday fully showed the government's evidence, the answer was clear: there is more to come. norah, department of justice officials say that they don't discuss ongoing cases. but in this case, because the trump team asked for a special master, it really gave prosecutors an opening to show off evidence like that. >> o'donnell: very interesting. jeff pegues, thank you so much. well, now, to jackson, mis, and the latest details in the humanitarian water crisis facing

nearly 200,000 people. president biden quickly approved an emergency declaration and ordered federal assistance for the state. cbs' janet shamlian reports again from there. >> reporter: tonight, jackson's water crisis is rippling through the economy. >> to stay open, you have to buy water. there is no other way to do it. >> reporter: restaurant manager tanya burns says what's coming out of their tap is no longer safe to cook with or drenching. how much business are you losing? >> we're losing between 10% and 20% is what we've seen weekly since the boil water notice started 30-some days ago. >> reporter: burns says they've been able to stay open until today. >> we will not be open this next hour and there is a good chance we will not be able to open today. >> reporter: recent flooding contaminating city water is just the latest problem in a system broken for years. >> the other day we couldn't take showerses because we didn't

have water at all. >> reporter: tankers today distributed nonpotable water. water safe to drink is harder to come by. in some ways the water crisis in jackson is a tale of two cities and these are the families who feel left behind. >> it's unfair, you know, to this community. >> reporter: jackson's population is 80% black. 25% live in poverty. the city, like many serving minorities, can't afford to fix this alone. mississippi is slated to receive $75 million for water issues from the recently passed infrastructure bill. but it could cost $1 billion just to fix jackson. ayonna smith says she never drinks jackson's water, even when it's considered safe. >> it's a problem that needs to be fixed because it's not just happening from all of the, you know, raining and stuff. >> reporter: this is one of the water giveaways across jackson tonight. fema and the national guard contributing to the effort to ease the long lines and get more

water to people. the mayor has said water pressure should begin to resume tonight, and there are plans for a new pump to go in tomorrow. but, norah, for the people who live here, that is a temporary fix. >> o'onnell: really tough conditions. janet shamlian, thank you. ahead of labor day, hot weather is beating the country. tonight, more than 100 schools across philadelphia were forced to close early due to insufficient or no air conditioning. students were let out after indoor temperatures topped 90 degrees in some classrooms. it's especially hot out west. nearly 55 million people are under excessive heat warnings and advisers, some areas expecting to top 110 degrees. let's bring in meteorologist chris warren from our partners at the weather channel. >> widespread dangerous heat expected across a big portion of the west under an area of high pressure, excessive heat warnings, heat advisories in effect. not only will there be

triple-digit heat. some of the overnight lows staying in the 80s. this is some dangerous heat with triple digits expected, even in los angeles, usually getting that cool water from the pacific, not this time. 94 degrees tomorrow. and in the tropics, still looking very active. in fact, expecting development out of a couple of areas of ivestigation. an 80% chance of development out of this. but for now, no immediate threat to land. norah. >> o'donnell: chris warren, thank you for that update. we want to turn now to the war in ukraine and fears of a chernobyl-style disaster at europe's largest nuclear power plant. a team of inspectors hope to reach the embattled site in a matter of hours on a mission to prevent a nuclear catastrophe. cbs' debora patta continues her reporting from inside ukraine. >> reporter: the team arrived in ukrainian-held zaporizhzhia today. it's over 70 miles from the nuclear power plant, which is inside russian-occupied

territory. rafael grossi intends to start the inspection tomorrow. >> my mission is a mission that seeks to prevent a nuclear accident. >> reporter: the facility and surrounding towns continue to come under shelling with both sides trading blame, even as inspectors left kyiv this morning, ukraine accused russia of picking the town where the plant is located. this is the first time the atomic energy inspectors will be heading into a war zone to investigate a nuclear plant. grossi wants to establish a permanent presence but says this inspection will last until the weekend. however, locally installed russian authorities say they must complete their work in just one day. debora patta, cbs news, kyiv, ukraine. >> o'donnell: now to an issue we've covered and investigated-- the problem of sexual assault in the military. tonight, there are disturbing new numbers from the pentagon. reports of sexual assaults jumped by 13% last year with the

largest increases by far in the army. close to 36,000 service members said in a confidential survey they've experienced unwanted sexual contact. that's a dramatic increase over the roughly 20,000 who said that in 2018. the navy is also dealing with the fallout of a growing scandal that's exposed a culture of abuse, cheating, and drug use in its seal candidate program. the details were revealed after a 24-year-old former college football star died during the grueling selection process known as "hell week." cbs' david martin spoke to his grieving mother. >> reporter: kyle mullen took this selfie just after making it through the infamous hell week of navy seal training. it was a moment triumph, but his mother, regina, talked to him on the phone, and knew something was terribly wrong. >> he could barely breathe. and i was yelling at him. i said, are you in a hospital? are you in pain? do you have broken bones? no, mom. >> she, ited, i need to know

your conditions, you did not sound good. >> he died hours later. >> reporter: the cause of death was pneumonia, which his mother says was the caused by submersion in the cold waters off southern california. but a search of the water he shared with other trainees found performance-enhancing drugs that he told her about. >> it would help them recover faster and get them through hell week. it was the only-- only way possible to get through. >> reporter: 40 members of kyle mullen's class of 210 would-be seals admitted taking banned substances. a warped testament to training that pushes young men to their absolute limits. >> that first day of that training he was not given water all day. at the end of the day he got heatstroke of 104.3 was his core temperature. >> reporter: trainees can quit any time they want, but mullen refused. "i'm not going to die," he wrote to himself. "it i do, i'd rather die here." >> it's a sick training.

i believe you need seals, but not this type of torture. >> reporter: as a result kyle mullen's death the seals are increasing the number of medical observers and testing for performance-enhancing drugs, but they have not made any changes in the training itself. norah. >> o'donnell: david martin, thank you. well, a breakthrough technology is helping people communicate by using their mind. that story in 60 seconds. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete balanced nutrition for strength and energy. woo hoo! ensure, complete balanced nutrition
